Lots of fandoms, not many picturesby Colt-kun (3 out of 5 stars)
January 18, 2016
Uploaded photos to show all the fandoms and recipes in the book.
As you can see, the fandoms are really scattershot over several different venues. I was surprised the drinks section is about... A third? Of the book. And the larger portion is alcoholic. That was a let down as I was expecting food recipes.
But the ones included look awesome. Lots of them don't have a picture of the product, so you have to go off the ingredients. I really love the Zelda recipes and want to make all of them like the Elixir Soup, But if you're looking for Hunger Games or Game of Thrones or Harry Potter, I'd suggest buying those cookbooks because of the limited selection in this cookbook.
Rating: 3 stars. While it has a few unique recipes I love, like the Zelda soups and figgins, most of the recipes are popular enough you could find them online for free (peeta's cheesy rolls, sea salt ice cream, sansa's lemon cakes, etc) and the lack of photos for many of the recipes makes it hard to want to make them.
This is awesome

I bought this as a gift for my geeky son, but I couldn't help but look through it myself. What a fun book! Christmas morning was halted for a bit after he opened this gift and stopped to look through the recipes, the contents, and search through to see if some of his favorite geeky characters or foods were referenced, and the look on his face when he found several that were in there. This was a hit.
Happy Chef Geeks This Cook Book Is A Must
by NikonWitch (5 out of 5 stars)

The recipes include chocolate salty balls inspired by South Park, butter cakes inspired by Silent Hill. I plan on making my own Twinkies, I'll be using another recipe from the book inspired by Bioshock for Creme-filled cakes. I bought the book for my daughter's first cookbook for the new home she & her partner are moving into, he loves her cooking. Now, she can make geek food for him. Happy Geeks are wonderful.
This book is easy to follow, and there's something to be said for cook books, as opposed to online sites. Sometimes, it's wonderful to have a book. Being a tactile person, I like to hold my books.
I highly recommend this book for fellow Geeks, or those that have Geeks in their lives.
Lives true to it's name!

Love this book. If you watch SyFy or fantasy shows this is the boom for you! I love that there is a combination of recipes from all of "guilty pleasures" movie and TV shows. Firefly, Futurama, Legend of Zelda, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter etc. when the title says "Geeky" it lives true to its word. The recipes are decent as well. I have made a few for my children and their friends. Quite the hit. Add it along with themed napkins or plates - instant party theme. I am looking forward to using more as year progresses. So many recipes so little time.
The perfect cookbook for geeks who love to geek out!

I always wanted to cook fictional foods and drinks from numerous geek-centric IPs and this cookbook finally makes this a reality. I still have to get the proper ingredients necessary to do the recipes and when I do, I'm going to be cooking up a storm with these recipes!
Excellent gift idea

Bought as a gift for a young adult who is trying to very eager to try new recipes and is also a self proclaimed 'nerd'. She was thrilled and they all hunched around the book looking through it and getting excited
but all of the other recipes seem easy enough to do

Bought this along with the "Geeky Chef Strikes Back" for my husband for Christmas. They have very creative ideas and were delivered right on time. My only critique is that 2 or 3 if the recipes (across both books) use hard to find ingredients, but all of the other recipes seem easy enough to do, even for a non-cook like me!
Great for Fans of Almost Anything

Really fun and good cookbook. I love how many different fan bases this appeals to. From Hunger Games to Harry Potter to Narnia to Zelda to Star Trek and so much more! I'm gifting it to my newly wed sister and her husband, and with such a range of recipes, I'm confident they'll both find recipes they'll be excited about. I just hope they invite me over for some Cauldron Cakes.
FUN!

Fun recipes and themes. A little too heavy on video game references for my preferences, but she had to walk a fine line to achieve her goal.
Some of the recipes need tweaking for medical diets, but that's true of ALL cookbooks.
Creative and fun! Recipient loved it as a holiday gift.

Bought this as a gift for the holidays, and she absolutely loves it! I didn't even realize all of the different movies and shows that it includes! Very creative book! Great for anyone into "geek" pop culture!
